I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 110 features onlookers who turn out to be an army of skeletons.

Jiang Chen looked around.

From the groves on both sides, a large number of dragon spearmen were running rapidly toward Jiang Chen.

They wore enormous, crimson shackles on their heads, affected by a slowing curse.

Following behind the dragon spearmen was a squad of dragon mages, numbering more than twenty.

Upon observing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile wryly: "How could I forget that this is an area-of-effect skill?"

After upgrading the Slow Curse to level 22, this was the first time he used the skill in battle. He had completely forgotten its huge range, which almost covered the small groves on both sides, thus attracting this large group of dragon monsters.

Jiang Chen thought to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "Perhaps this is a good way to attract monsters, although the running speed is indeed a bit slow."

The slow-moving dragon monster gave Jiang Chen enough time to launch his attack.

The dragon spearmen unleashed their skills, causing the skeleton warriors to retreat. Although most successfully dodged the attacks, a few were hit due to their slowed movement and were once again stunned.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen would not give these dragon spearmen another chance to attack. They fell one after another under the bombardment of magic, and explosions rang out one after another. All the dragon spearmen attracted by the skeleton warrior were wiped out.

At this moment, there were also dragon spearmen and dragon mages in the distance, running in slow motion, similar to level 20 professionals, because the slowing curse severely slowed their movements.

Jiang Chen patiently waited for the monsters to enter the skeleton mage's attack range before picking them off one by one.

The skeleton warriors charged forward again, attacking as they went, forming a human wall to keep the dragon monsters at bay.

However, a transparent restraint suddenly appeared on the skeleton warrior's body.

This is the Wind's Binding!

The skeleton mage continuously cast Wind Binding, trapping the skeleton warriors one by one in place.

Although it only slows them down, it does not affect their ability to use skills.

Jiang Chen felt a little worried, because the dragon mage's skill attack range was really too far.

These mages were at least 300 meters away from the skeleton warriors, a distance that allowed them to unleash their spells.

In comparison, the Skeleton Mage's range is only around 50 meters, and even at the Silver level, it's only 200 meters, far less than that of the Dragon Mage. For mages, the longer the range, the greater the advantage and the higher the safety.

The current situation is quite dangerous for Jiang Chen.

The two dragon mages unleashed their spells while binding the skeleton warrior.

Then, a rain of fire swept in.

The bound skeleton warriors were unable to retaliate and could only passively endure the burning flames.

This highlights the weakness of skeleton warriors: they lack counter-skills and are easily countered and targeted.

Jiang Chen gave the order: "Spot kill!"

He pointed to the dragon warrior at the front, and the skeleton mages quickly launched an attack.

At the same time, the Soul Burning skill flashed in Jiang Chen's hand.

The skeleton warriors could only serve as meat shields to draw fire at this moment. Fortunately, they were quite strong, and it would take the dragon mages quite a while to kill them.

The skeleton mage focused fire twice, plus Jiang Chen's Soul Burn.

Quickly eliminate a dragon spearman.

Then the body exploded!

The explosions echoed through the instance once more, and the dragon spearmen were killed in droves.

The Corpse Explosion skill's range is insufficient to affect the Dragon Mage.

The dragon mage stood 300 meters away, continuously unleashing a rain of fire while controlling the skeleton warriors, preventing them from approaching.

If there is a knight at this time, he can use the taunt skill to lure the dragon mage over.

Some knights also possess chain skills, which can even pull dragon mages directly in front of them.

At the same time, knights possess skills that resist control, so the Wind Binding spell is of little use to them.

Besides knights, Jiang Chen also thought of mages.

Some mages possess silence skills, which can instantly render mage monsters unable to attack.

But now...

There is only one way.

Have the skeleton mage quickly advance and focus fire on the dragon mage to kill him.

He also coordinated with the skeleton mage, using Soul Burn to interrupt the dragon mage's skills as much as possible.

As a result, both sides entered a state of direct confrontation and combat.

The skeleton warriors cannot be of any help until the binding effect ends.

They can only stand there like wooden stakes as targets, unable to even retract their summoning queue.

This dungeon run was the most difficult one Jiang Chen had ever experienced.

Hell difficulty, it truly lives up to its name.

If Hong Jishi knew that Jiang Chen would choose to go to Hell difficulty, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this time, Hong Jishi had already returned to Shenlong University and to his own courtyard.

Li Xueru remained seated, drinking tea, seemingly unaware of what scenery he was appreciating.

He seemed to be looking at something constantly, his gaze profound and unfathomable.

When Hong Jishi returned, Li Xueru finally looked away and poured him a cup of tea: "Did you deliver it?"

"Well, it's been delivered."

Li Xueru gave him a meaningful look: "It seems you really want to cultivate him. You even branded him in the Hall of Heroes. Your five-star general has become a four-star, hasn't he?" Hong Jishi really went all out.

He even gave up his status as a five-star general.

In order to imprint Jiang Chen's mark, a large amount of military merits were consumed, reducing him from a five-star general to a four-star general.

Others may not understand its meaning, but Li Xueru understands it very well.

He also wore a sergeant's badge on his shoulder, a purplish-gold color with five shining stars.

Hong Jishi didn't care at all: "This kid has potential, we can't let him die in some accident."

"We've had enough geniuses of our human race die. Every one less we can lose is a blessing."

Li Xueru stopped dwelling on the issue and sipped his tea, saying, "He should have gone to the Dragon Outpost instance by now."

“He definitely went. My task for him was to retrieve some materials from the Dragon Clan. He had no choice but to go.” Hong Jishi said with a smug smile.

It looked as if he had planned every step for Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen just needed to follow along.

Li Xueru slowly said, "The materials you need will only drop in Nightmare difficulty, and the chance is very low."

Hong Jishi laughed heartily, "That's exactly the effect I wanted. That kid has a cooldown amulet, right? He can get it after a few refreshes."

Li Xueru shook his head, unconvinced: "Do you think it's possible that he chose the hell difficulty level?"

puff!

Hong Jishi spat out a mouthful of tea, sending it flying far away.

His face showed disbelief: "No way, this kid can't be that stupid."

“How can you call him stupid? You should say he’s confident. This kid has always been confident in himself, hasn’t he? He can carry 39 people in the Tyrant Desert, what else is impossible for him?” Hong Jishi said with a slightly annoyed look on his face. “I should have reminded him earlier that he shouldn’t go to the Hell difficulty dungeon. The Hell difficulty is completely different from the Nightmare difficulty.”

Li Xueru said with a smile, "Anyway, if he really goes, then it's none of your business. You can't go in to save him anyway. Just leave it to fate. You've already branded him, so he won't die. At most, he'll suffer a bit."

Hong Ki-seok's eyes were filled with worry, and he had a terrible headache.

"How could I forget to tell him?"

Seeing Hong Jishi in pain, Li Xueru's smile deepened, as if he had seen something amusing.

There aren't many things that can make Hongji Stone feel bad these days.

He held the freshly poured teacup under his nose and said softly, "Have you ever considered the possibility that he might actually clear the hellish dungeon?"

"impossible!"

Hong Jishi blurted out, it was his instinctive reaction, he didn't think Jiang Chen would have a chance to pass the hell-level difficulty dungeon at all.

Li Xueru remained silent, simply sipping his tea and watching Hong Jishi.

After a moment, Hong Jishi said in a deep voice, "If it really goes through, the benefits will be enormous."

......

"Killed a level 31 Dragon Mage, experience +612385"

"Killed a level 31 Dragon Mage, experience +615521"

...

"Obtain the Dragon's Horn"

Finally, all the dragon mages were wiped out.

The skeleton mages were all injured.

Jiang Chen added them to his summoning queue for healing and recovery.

I got two more dragon horns. Two horns from 20 mages, the drop rate is really low.

The skeleton warriors basically just stood there watching the show during this battle; all that was missing was a watermelon for them.

Jiang Chen found an open space to sit down and rest.

The dungeon is only one-third complete so far.

He's never had such a tough time playing dungeons.

Unwittingly, I spotted the dungeon exit in the distance.

After fighting for a long time, the exit was still within sight, leaving Jiang Chen somewhat amused and exasperated.

Who could have imagined that the Hell difficulty level would be so high? It completely exceeded expectations.

The key issue wasn't the increased strength of the monsters, but rather their various control skills, which made Jiang Chen extremely unsuitable.

Looking at the outpost fortress still in the distance, the fortress seemed to exude an aura of mockery.

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly. Since he was here, he was determined to fight to the bitter end.

I have to go and see what the hell-level dungeon boss looks like.

Giving up halfway is not in his nature.

After resting for a while, feeling that the skeleton mage had recovered enough, Jiang Chen headed towards the fortress again.

There was no sign of anything 3000 meters ahead.

The Slow Curse skill attracted monsters from a large area.

After passing through the 3000-meter area, the dungeon's path has been cleared.

At this moment, the fortress came into full view.

With the eyesight of a level 22 professional, the fortress was already clearly visible. Its appearance was very similar to that of the human fortresses.

Dragon monsters stood on the city wall.

The mage and the archer moved back and forth.

The defenses are tight.

Jiang Chen had a headache.

With a mage present, it's not easy to fight.

The only good thing is that the fortress gates are open, not closed.

There are also many dragon monsters outside the fortress.

"Let's clear out the dragon monsters outside first."

Jiang Chen stopped using the method of dragging monsters and started clearing them one by one.

In this environment, mass killing may not be fast.

Especially with the presence of mages, just a few more can render the skeleton warriors useless. We can only proceed gradually, maximizing the numerical and attribute advantages of the skeleton warriors.

It's slower, but also easier.

This looks just like when Jiang Chen first went into a dungeon.

"Let's take it one step at a time, abandon the fast-paced approach, and honestly return to the basics."

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
